This publication represents one of the many spaces Doug Ashford's work occupies. It is the first collection of his writings and conversations and attempts to encompass the changing thoughts shared by the artist over the past twenty-five years.

Doug Ashford is a teacher, artist, and writer. He has taught design, sculpture, and theory at The Cooper Union, New York, since 1989. His principal art practice from 1982 to 1996 was as a member of Group Material and since that time he has gone on to make paintings, write, and produce other cross-diciplinary projects.
